“This thing does not affect me directly, so clearly its everyone else who is overreacting.”
Except it literally does affect them, they’re literally the ones throwing tantrums and whining about how mods and others ruined the subs, without a hint of irony.
Lol I’m sorry but these people are idiots. Who shills for rich corporations and lives a happy life?
richcorporationsReddit never has made a profit. So… they’re not rich.
I’m not sure that shilling for a poor corporation makes things much better though.
Lol. They feel very strongly.
IDK man, I want to understand them but I can’t.
Just looked at some of those accounts and they’re less than 2 years old. My guess is, they never used anything other than the official app so to them, nothing will change. Honestly, let reddit keep those users. I’d rather have a conversation with someone who doesn’t have the attention span of a TikTok user.
Lol, in this kinds of threads there is always the bitter milennial, that can bare that times change.
because surprise! those kind of users are here as well! (like me :0 )
Like just because someone is not an elder person will be in favour of corporate fuckery?
Look I am one, but think it is bitter millennials that joined Reddit ten years ago and want old Reddit and working apps. The new new generation are used to new Reddit and corporate millennials are elders now.
I think that it would vary by other demographics, too. I don’t personally know any other people around my age (Older Gen Z) who still use reddit, especially after all of this went down. I understand that my personal experience is only one out of billions, so I’m also not necessarily saying that you’re wrong about that either.
I don’t know, I guess I just wanted to reassure you that not all of the new new generation is following reddit blindly. Many of us are strongly protesting over the principal of how reddit treats their mods and users. Many posters don’t feel the need to include their ages, so I’m not sure we can get a fully accurate read on the age groups just yet.
Nothing is too big to fail.
Omg me too. I know they are just human, and are susceptible to the same crap logic I am, but I can’t put myself there. My only thought, is that they just don’t know. The more you know, the harder you have to work, to maintain some kind of engagement in your life to feed the monster you created in your head. These people are fine floating, and tbh, I envy them AND pity them simultaneously.
This is how most protests or strikes go in real life too.
When a protest negatively affects someone, it is the fault of the one(s) who directly caused the effect, rather than those that caused people to protest in the first place.
If you think broad enough, you can see the parallels to things like public transport strikes or other forms of protest.
I’m just glad this type of people will remain on reddit, don’t try to convince them to come here lol. Let them stay in that shitty place, it’s perfect for shitty people
Like it or not in order for a site to grow you have to take in normies.
Endless growth for the sake of growth is not the goal.
TIL: You can have an animated profile
TIL too
These type of people can stay on Reddit for all I care. Just like how all the racist conspiracy boomers stayed on Facebook and similar things happen with Twitter right now as well.
The sad reality is most normal people are like this…
The number one greatest argument against democracy
deleted by creator
That’s the only outcome I’d accept.
Just a sign of where Reddit has gone over the several years and who the main audience is.
The audience is nothing without the show. If all the decent content creators leave then they’ll just be left with bullshit fake AITA posts.
I was shocked at the reaction of r/lotrmemes. They seem to have really gone the extra mile to mock and stop the protests.
I don’t really trust anyone so deep into a fandom that their primary content consumption and creation is a fan specific meme sub. Their primary thing is engaging with that specific content, and anything that gets in the way is going to be attacked.
Oof seeing this just makes me miss Sync for Reddit… Ljdawson, if you read this, Sync for Lemmy pls
Don’t feel to bad, %99 of reddit is bots pushing an agenda especially when u/spez bank feels a little light

Damn I want paying attention and you got me with that link! I haven’t been on reddit for a week!
Nope, this doesn’t surprise me anymore.
A good percentage of people don’t stop at merely licking the boot, but actually deepthroat the entire leg.
Lol, gone full time Lemmy now. I do not miss Reddit! Let them have the Reddit they want. The corpo Reddit under spez, the kind of guy who doesn’t care about the user, just the bags of money he sleeps on at night.
It is so cringe to defend CEOs.
I probably wouldn’t trust any vote counts on Reddit about this subject.
Some people are annoyed that mods took their dopamine away while protesting reddit.
is withdrawal syndrome.
Let the bootlickers stay behind. Let them delight in the milquetoast conservative snore-fest of mediocrity that waits them. Let them turn Reddit into Quora. Fuck 'em all.
Was Quora cool before?
If by cool you mean hogging all the Google results and hiding the info behind login walls, yeah they were always cool.
